About the author

Benjamin Bader is Professor of Strategic Management and Organization at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany. His research focuses on Internationalization Strategies and International (HR) Management, particularly expatriates in high-risk countries. His work has been published in Journals such as Journal of International Management and International Business Review.

Tassilo Schuster is an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Management at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. His main research interests include International Management, HR Management and Management in Emerging Markets and in particular business strategies focusing on low-income markets, CSR, and expatriate management in high-risk countries.

Anna Katharina Bader is Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management at the Georg-August-University Goettingen, Germany. Her research includes International Human Resource Management and Diversity Management with particular interest in cross-cultural and comparative research.

This book provides state-of-the art research on expatriate management from a European perspective. Considering issues related to the different phases of expatriation and comprehensive contemporary topics of expatriate management, the chapters present a long overdue holistic approach to the field. Rather than just publishing a counterweight to the predominant North American literature, Expatriate Management includes critical analyses of each chapter written by a number of renowned North American scholars to review and contribute to the trans-Atlantic dialogue.
